判决
我们使用和测试摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)的经验是喜忧参半的。我们喜欢这款笨重的智能手机(bulky smartphone)，因为它的电池大、质量(build quality)好、价格低。但是，性能不佳和屏幕分辨率低(low-resolution screen)是我们不喜欢的事情。此外，即使电池可以持续使用两天或更长时间，这种自主性也以增加(Furthermore)重量和厚度(weight and thickness)为代价。这也使得摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)不适合那些不喜欢携带如此沉重的智能手机的人。最后，我们认为这是一款针对相当狭窄细分市场的智能手机(market segment)：需要大电池和大屏幕的智能手机，但不关心性能或相机体验(camera experience)的人，只关心智能手机可以做的基础。
硬件(Hardware)规格和包装
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus 智能手机(Motorola Moto E4 Plus smartphone)装在一个带有一些蓝色调的橙色盒子中，这与我们看到的摩托罗拉Moto (orange box)E4(Motorola Moto E4)类似。盒子的上盖上还印有摩托罗拉(Motorola)的蓝色气球狗。(balloon dog)
在盒子的背面，您可以看到智能手机的一些图像及其主要功能。在盒子里面，智能手机放在纸盘(paper tray)上。如果你把所有东西拿出来，你会发现智能手机、它的交流电源(AC power)适配器和可拆卸的USB 数据线(USB cable)、一副耳机、保修卡(warranty card)、安全信息文件(safety information document)和用户手册。
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)有两种颜色可供选择：铁灰色和纯金(Iron Gray and Fine Gold)。我们测试的模型是Iron Grey(Iron Gray)。
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)拥有 5.5 英寸的大显示屏，以及 1280 x 720 像素的低分辨率和仅 267 ppi 的像素密度。如果您想了解更多关于 ppi 的含义及其重要性的信息，请阅读这篇文章：简单问题：什么是PPI，它是否重要？屏幕由 2.5D 玻璃保护。
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)的动力来自四核 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 处理器(GHz Cortex-A53 processor)和联发科 MT6737 芯片组(MediaTek MT6737 chipset)。视频部分由运行频率为 650MHz的Mali-T720 MP1 GPU处理。(Mali-T720 MP1 GPU)智能手机还受益于 3 GB RAM，并提供 16 GB 或 32 GB 内部闪存空间(flash storage space)，具体取决于您在哪里购买。我们测试的型号有 16GB 的内置存储空间(storage space)。如果您需要更多空间来存储图片、音乐或其他类型的数据，您还可以在专用插槽中插入 microSD 卡。
智能手机背面的主摄像头有一个分辨率为 13 兆像素的传感器、AF/2.0 光圈、自动对焦和LED 闪光灯(LED flash)。如果您已阅读我们对摩托罗拉 Moto E4(Motorola Moto E4)的评论，您可能会注意到Moto E4 Plus具有更好的后置摄像头。至于前置摄像头(front camera)，你会得到一个 5 兆像素的传感器，带有 af/2.2 光圈和一个专用的LED 闪光灯(LED flash)，这很不寻常，但对自拍爱好者来说是件好事。
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)使用支持 802.11 b/g/n wireless标准的 Wi-Fi 芯片和蓝牙4.2(Bluetooth 4.2)芯片。它与 802.11 ac 标准不兼容，这意味着您无法通过 5GHz 无线网络获得高速数据传输。
这款智能手机还有一个双SIM 卡(SIM)版本，这是我们测试过的版本。两个SIM 卡(SIM)插槽均接受 nano- SIM 卡(SIM)，并且一次只能连接一张SIM 卡(SIM card)并使用 3G 和 4G LTE网络。副SIM卡(SIM card)只能使用2G。此外，智能手机采用双卡双待实现(SIM Dual Standby implementation)，这意味着两张SIM 卡(SIM card)在待机状态下都处于活动状态，但是当您在其中一个上接听电话时，另一个将变为非活动状态。值得一提的是，microSD 插槽(microSD slot)是独立的，因此您可以在双卡模式下(Dual SIM mode)使用智能手机并同时添加 microSD 卡。
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)内置了多种传感器，其中值得一提的是接近传感器(proximity sensor)、光线传感器(light sensor)、加速度计和指纹识别器(fingerprint reader)。指纹传感器(fingerprint sensor)是一种受欢迎的好东西，您在预算设备上并不常见。
智能手机从容量为 5000mAh 的巨大电池中获得自主权。这应该可以让智能手机运行两天，但我们将在本次评测的稍后部分查看是否会发生这种情况。
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)是一款相当大且笨重的智能手机：长度为 6.1 英寸（155 毫米），宽度为 3.05 英寸（77.5 毫米），厚度为 0.37 英寸（9.55）毫米。它也是一个相当重的设备，重 6.98 盎司或 198 克。

设计和建造质量
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus 智能手机(Motorola Moto E4 Plus smartphone)是它的小兄弟摩托罗拉 Moto E4(Motorola Moto E4)的翻版，只是更大。这款智能手机设计的定义是略微弯曲的顶部和底部边缘，以及圆形摄像头和 LED(camera and LED)闪光灯区域。除此之外，Moto E4 Plus在设计上相对保守。
这是一款大型智能手机，因为它有 5.5 英寸的大屏幕和巨大的 5000毫安时电池(mAh battery)。Moto E4 Plus的电池也很重。这和金属机身(metallic body)只会增加您使用坚固且制作精良的设备的感觉。
大显示屏占据了智能手机的正面。在底部，您会找到指纹读取器，但没有(fingerprint reader but nothing)别的。智能手机使用默认Android按钮的软件实现：(software implementation)返回、主页(Back, Home)和最近的应用程序(Recent apps)。
在显示屏的上部，有一个灰色的小moto logo，后面是听筒、前置摄像头和LED闪光灯(camera and LED flash)。
摩托罗拉 Moto E4 Plus(Motorola Moto E4 Plus)的背面是带有LED 闪光灯(LED flash)的圆形摄像头模块(camera module)。在智能手机后盖的中央区域，您还可以看到代表摩托罗拉的(Motorola)M 标志(M logo)。
从上方看智能手机，左侧(left edge)是空的，顶部是 3.5毫米音频插孔(mm audio jack)，右侧(right edge)是电源按钮和音量键(power button and volume rocker)，底部(bottom edge)是micro USB 2.0端口，麦克风和扬声器格栅(loudspeaker grille)。所有这些元素的位置与任何Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)一样常见，因此您可以轻松找到所需的任何按钮或端口(button or port)。

Motorola Moto E4 Plus review: A bigger screen and battery make a better smartphone?
Recently, we tested the latest budget-friendlу ѕmartphone from Mоtorolа: the Moto E4. We also had the chance to check on its bigger brother, the Motorola Moto E4 Plus, and what it has to offer. Moto E4 Plus is essentially the same smartрhonе as the Moto E4 but wіth a larger screen, more RAM, a camera with more pixels and a monster battery with a capacity of 5000mAh. That sounds pretty goоd on paper, but how does it translate into your real-life experiencе? It thіs smartphone worth buying? Find out from our review:
What is the Motorola Moto E4 Plus smartphone good at?
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus is a suitable smartphone for:
- Basic smartphone needs such as calling others and browsing the internet
- People who hate charging their smartphones every day. The Motorola Moto E4 Plus can last for two days or more, on a single charge
- Those who want a smartphone with a large screen and battery but who are not willing to spend a lot of money
Pros and cons
Here are some of the most positive aspects about the Motorola Moto E4 Plus:
- It has a competitive price tag
- The build quality is good for its price, and the body is made from aluminum
- The display has vivid colors and good brightness
- The battery can last for two days or more between charges
- It can connect to 4G LTE mobile networks
- It has a fingerprint reader that helps you unlock it quickly
- It comes with Android 7.1.1 Nougat
On the other side, the Motorola Moto E4 Plus:
- Has very modest hardware and the performance it offers is lower than that of other smartphones with a similar price
- The display has a small resolution and pixel density
- Is a poor choice for gaming experiences
- The camera experience is far from ideal
Verdict
Our experience with using and testing the Motorola Moto E4 Plus is a mixed one. We like this bulky smartphone for its big battery, good build quality, and low price. However, the weak performance and the low-resolution screen are things that we did not enjoy. Furthermore, even if the battery can last you for two days or more, this level of autonomy comes at the price of increased weight and thickness. That also makes the Motorola Moto E4 Plus a no-go for people who do not like carrying such a heavy smartphone. In the end, we believe this is a smartphone that is targeted at a rather narrow market segment: people who need a smartphone with a large battery and with a large screen, but who do not care about the performance or the camera experience, only about the basics a smartphone can do.
Hardware specifications and packaging
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus smartphone arrives in an orange box with a few blue accents, that is similar to the one we saw for the Motorola Moto E4. The box also has Motorola's blue balloon dog printed on its upper lid.
On the back of the box, you can see a few images of the smartphone and its main features. Inside the box, the smartphone sits on a paper tray. If you take everything out, you will find the smartphone, its AC power adapter and removable USB cable, a pair of headphones, the warranty card, a safety information document and the user manual.
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus is available in two color variations: Iron Gray and Fine Gold. The model that we tested was Iron Gray.
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus has a large display of 5.5 inches, and a low resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels and a pixel density of only 267 ppi. If you want to know more about what ppi means and why it is important, read this article: Simple questions: What is PPI and does it matter?. The screen is protected by 2.5D glass.
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus draws its power from a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 processor and a MediaTek MT6737 chipset. The video part is handled by a Mali-T720 MP1 GPU that runs at 650MHz. The smartphone also benefits from 3 GB of RAM and offers 16GB or 32GB of internal flash storage space, depending on where you buy it. The model that we tested had 16GB of built-in storage space. If you need more room for pictures, music or other types of data, you can also insert a microSD card in the dedicated slot.
The main camera on the back of the smartphone has a sensor with a resolution of 13 megapixels, a f/2.0 aperture, autofocus and a LED flash. If you have read our review for the Motorola Moto E4, you might notice that the Moto E4 Plus has a better rear camera. As for the front camera, you get a 5-megapixel sensor with a f/2.2 aperture and a dedicated LED flash, which is quite unusual but a good thing for selfie lovers.
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus uses a Wi-Fi chip with support for the 802.11 b/g/n wireless standards and a Bluetooth 4.2 chip. It is not compatible with the 802.11 ac standard, and that means that you do not get high-speed data transfers through 5GHz wireless networks.
This smartphone also has a version that is Dual SIM, and that is the one we tested. Both SIM slots accept nano-SIMs and only one SIM card can connect and use 3G and 4G LTE networks at a time. The secondary SIM card can use the only 2G. Furthermore, the smartphone uses a Dual SIM Dual Standby implementation, which means that both SIM cards are active in standby, but when you take a call on one of them, the other becomes inactive. It is also worth mentioning that the microSD slot is separate, so you can use the smartphone in Dual SIM mode and add a microSD card at the same time.
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus has a variety of built-in sensors, among which we should mention the proximity sensor, the light sensor, the accelerometer and the fingerprint reader. The fingerprint sensor is a welcomed goodie that you do not often see on budget devices.
The smartphone gets its autonomy from an enormous battery, with a capacity of 5000mAh. That should keep the smartphone running for two days, but we will see if that happens later in this review.
Motorola Moto E4 Plus is a rather large and bulky smartphone: it is 6.1 inches (155 mm) in length, 3.05 inches (77.5 mm) in width and 0.37 inches (9.55) mm in thickness. It is also a pretty heavy device, at 6.98 ounces or 198 grams.
For more details about the hardware specifications and features of the Motorola Moto E4 Plus, visit this web page: Moto E4 Plus Specs.
The unboxing was pleasant, and the bundled accessories are more than you see on other smartphones with similar pricing. Although the hardware specifications are not impressive, the huge 5000 mAh battery is.
Design and build quality
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus smartphone is a copy of its smaller brother, the Motorola Moto E4, just bigger. What is definitory for the design of this smartphone are the top and bottom edges, which are slightly curved, and the circular camera and LED flash area. Other than that, the Moto E4 Plus is relatively conservative regarding design.
This is a large smartphone, because of the large 5.5-inch screen and the monstrous 5000 mAh battery. The Moto E4 Plus is also heavy because of its battery. This and the metallic body only add to the feeling that you are dealing with a robust and well-made device.
The large display dominates the front side of the smartphone. Towards the bottom, you will find the fingerprint reader but nothing else. The smartphone uses the software implementation for the default Android buttons: Back, Home and Recent apps.
On the upper part of the display, there is a small gray moto logo, followed by the earpiece, front camera and LED flash.
The back of the Motorola Moto E4 Plus is where you can find the circular camera module with its LED flash. In the center area of the smartphone's back cover, you can also see the M logo that stands for Motorola.
Looking at the smartphone from above, the left edge is empty, the top edge holds the 3.5 mm audio jack, the right edge is home to the power button and volume rocker, and the bottom edge is where you find the micro USB 2.0 port, the microphone, and the loudspeaker grille. The positions of all these elements are as common as it can be for any Android smartphone so you will easily find any button or port you are looking for.
The Motorola Moto E4 Plus is a budget device, but that does not mean that Motorola did not try to create a well-built smartphone out of it. It is an inexpensive smartphone, but it looks good and feels robust.
